the reason why they should have keep a v10 in the m5.....sounds so much better

You know for some reason it seems to me they've done all they could to make the current M5 V8 sound like the previous M5 V10.
This new V8 sounds nothing like a usual high-performance V8, it's got a little howl that ressembles the one heard in the previous V10. Can someone confirm that I'm not the only one noticing this?

Also, I HOOOPE my theory translates into the I6 downgrade in the M3/M4...

Confirm??man listen on you tube they sound nothing alike!! This noise is muted, a bit farty, and bland.

It sounds different due to the turbos. Turbos act like a baffle. If you listen to a 4.4L non turbo they sound much more like a V8. The thing I like about the new motor is the fact its not just a v8 but a high revving v8 and theres a little bit less weight on the front end.
